QuoteReporters on both CBS and CNN also downplayed the pursuit as a "low-speed chase" in spite of reports that he had driven as quickly as 75 mph at some point. But there were even more critical pieces of information that the reporters failed to include in their coverage.



According to a report on the incident, Dial had driven very recklessly during the pursuit as he passed other vehicles on double yellow lines, drove into oncoming traffic, and forced vehicles off the road. Additionally, two police cars were "totaled" as they collided with him, injuring sending three deputies to the hospital with injuries.



In the audio of Sheriff Shoupe discussing the event after it was over, between seven and eight minutes into the recording, he can be heard recounting that three injured deputies, at least one of whom was bleeding. He also recalled that the driver had spent time in prison and had been involved with methamphetamines, as he believed that Mr. Dial's aggressive behavior indicated he "meant to kill somebody."



It has also been reported that an autopsy found methamphetamines in Dial's body after the crash.



Additionally, part of the reason they were chasing him was because he was displaying license plates for the wrong vehicle on his truck, which is typically treated as a serious matter by police because it can mean a vehicle is stolen.

I'm not familiar with this case. Unless it involves a black male and a white officer, it's not news.

yep you're exactly right.  The media only cares about the scenario you stated.  No others.

Which is why Americans...and most western nations, I suspect...hold no trust in the media.

Journalists, in my experience, are scum.

Exactly.  And that's why I didn't hop on the "fuck the police" bandwagon right away.



A motor vehicle can easily be viewed as a deadly weapon, depending on how it was operated.  Now we have a better understanding of why Meth Boy was aerated.



No big loss to society.  Just another Nigger in White skin.



The plus side?  He's White, so there will be no rioting, burning, and looting!  A win-win for all involved.
